The body of a 75-year-old man sat decomposing on his Marina del Rey balcony for days because neighbors thought the lifeless figure was part of a Halloween display and didn't call police.
Mostafa Mahmoud Zayed had apparently been dead since Monday with a single gunshot wound to one eye. He was slumped over a chair on the third-floor balcony of his apartment ... .Neighbors ... noticed the body Monday "but didn't bother calling authorities because it looked like a Halloween dummy." ...
"The body was in plain view of the entire apartment complex [and] they all didn't do anything," [a witness] said. "It's very strange. It did look unreal, to be honest."
Good time of year to be a zombie, though. Same reason.
